Mikel Arteta’s side completed a memorable campaign with another composed performance, recording their 26th league victory of the season and confirming their return to the summit of English football.
Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring for Arsenal before Noni Madueke extended the lead to strengthen the visitors’ control of the match. Crystal Palace responded through Jean-Philippe Mateta, whose goal gave the home supporters something to celebrate, but it was not enough to disrupt Arsenal’s title-winning occasion.
Although the victory sealed the season in style, Arsenal had already been confirmed champions earlier in the week after Manchester City dropped points against Bournemouth. Pep Guardiola’s side were left four points behind the Gunners heading into the final round of fixtures, ending their hopes of retaining the crown.
For Arsenal supporters, the achievement carries special meaning.
The club had not lifted the league title since the iconic 2003/2004 campaign, when the famous “Invincibles” squad completed the season without suffering defeat. Since then, years of rebuilding, setbacks, and near misses followed before Arteta guided the club back to the top.
This latest success delivers Arsenal’s 14th English league title and marks one of the most significant moments of the club’s modern era.
Following the final whistle at Selhurst Park, the Arsenal players celebrated with supporters before officially receiving the Premier League trophy.
With domestic glory secured, attention now turns to Europe as Arsenal prepare for another major test. The North London side will face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final scheduled for May 30 in Budapest, Hungary, with hopes of ending the season by adding continental success to their league triumph.
